Maybe flickering, but it's still broken in various ways. Only a few days ago I had an issue where the text I was typing was outside of the textbox frame. Resizing the terminal still maintained the broken view.

This is similar to how I ties my shoes, without the double twist though. Even as a kid, I thought of it as a problem decomposition: 1) tie a knot 2) fold ends in half 3) treat the folded strings as a single string and go to step 1 and exit

You can't have a 1.55m woman play the greatest Greek hero of all time. It's an insult to Greek culture. If Sydney Sweeney played Martin Luther King it would be equally insulting.
